[astral ridge]

how did you change it's color?

[leaden crypt]

that's mount

[quasi scarab]

the mount gets changed like the dragon riding mount at the rostrum things

[wooden dawn]

even better i got cap garrick in there with the purple squally

[west creek]

[stray ice]

u guys r awesome 🙂

[lusty locust]

bah looks like ya do have to kill the boss every time you want to try for a different look

[gray ruin]

yup

[lusty locust]

was hoping I could go back out and come back in and he'd reset

if I didn't tame him

[hollow flicker]

Updated it via my mobile shonks

[magic wharf]

lol the wow head article says all five variations are shown... they are all blue

[quasi scarab]

aradan is blue in all 5 variations

[lusty locust]

they have diff beaks, head crests and tails

[keen falcon]

i want a purple one

[magic wharf]

ha, i can barely tell. had no idea

[lusty locust]

so do i maybe when heroic becomes avail?

[quasi scarab]

one on left has hook beak one on right plain

[quaint ore]

do you think Aradan counts for % when M+ comes out

Will Aradan% be a thing

[magic wharf]

i just want a pet that will fly with me instead of fading away

[quaint ore]

this guy is poorly lit because he's in the stable but another variant example

[tawny quest]

It has 5 models appearing at random each dungeon reset

@sour sparrow we credit you in comment section https://www.wowhead.com/news/how-to-tame-aradan-stormrook-spirit-beast-pet-that-matches-heroic-edition-mount-346686#p5959740

[west creek]

hey, I credited the discord for the search - crediting individuals for secret solving in the past has resulted in problems (Jenafur was not a fun time), so we just don't do it anymore

[astral ridge]

big birbs

[quaint ore]

Aradan stonks are through the roof.

[feral lark]

Airy Dan best in slot

[past stirrup]

Birb tamed and now back up to full stables

[chilly totem]

now we gotta get someone to fill a stable with only aradans

[balmy kettle]

i guess it wasnt a homestuck reference 😦

[tawny quest]

Well its being spread over lol

[west breach]

So exciting everyone! Now we can rest…. And get back to those dang intent shadows

[west creek]

Yeah, just saying, nothing against Paul 🙂

[lusty locust]

finish gearing up Lol

[uneven moon]

if only we can get an updated model of Echeyakee my hunter life would be complete

[tawny quest]

Back to solving #1048772345860464681 since 3 yrs ago

Lol

[west breach]

Oh man hek still keeps me up at night

[tawny quest]

Lol

[gray ruin]

The storm watch was pointed there the whole time:

[quaint ore]

Maybe the answer to Hek is also in the ocean

[winter wren]

woot! man i flew around and was in the water all night last night around the rookery. i never saw the void hammer. -_-

[tawny quest]

Waiiiit a minute guys

[west breach]

Is there a frog hammer somewhere

[merry kelp]

hekhekhek

[tawny quest]

What if.... the bird was flying around the hammer in this dungeon hinting where it was?

[winter wren]

it was though

[tawny quest]

Dungeon environment same as outside the dungeon

[lusty locust]

but the hammer was way out there?

[tawny quest]

I have to recheck

[uneven moon]

its doesnt quite line up

its close but the hammer is further west

[wraith locust]

same question but you get the hammer outside of the dungeon itself?

[tawny quest]

I want to discover how the hammer ended there

[uneven moon]

yes

[wraith locust]

thanks

[astral ridge]

the sad part is he wasn't there before we attacked. So, his rider probably died in the bombings while we were killing big bad birb.

[lusty locust]

well it says void scarred hammer. I think the void guys got him

[winter wren]

his rider was the previous person who was in charge there before he was overthrown.

[astral ridge]

that big squid thing out there got him

[quaint ore]

No. Baelgrim's stormrook is Zarein, and Baelgrim wasn't overthrown: his second in command, Gorren, lead an insurrection while he was away from the Stormperch that we put an end to alongside Baelgrim in the story version of the dungeon.

After Baelgrim's heroic death fighting Zirix later in the campaign, Zarein went on to bond with Olbarig.

[tawny quest]

How did the hammer land on the ocean hmmmmmmm

[lusty locust]

figure one of the other stormriders didn't want to join up with the corrupted guy

[tawny quest]

So he lost his rider on the way to kill Kyrioss and started to mourn

Still gonna find out how we know it was a hammer and where to find it

I wonder how Paul was able to find it lol

[west creek]

from what i hear paul was just swimming around and noticed the hammer

i think you're thinking too much into that

[past stirrup]

The legend of Paul

[astral ridge]

hammer was datamined and people were looking for it. it should have been found before we got the blue post from players exploring the ocean

[tawny quest]

Fun fact i was near where the hammer was lol

Before he announced it

[hollow flicker]

You would think wowhead would credit the finder

[tawny quest]

15 mins before

[west creek]

hey, I credited the discord for the search - crediting individuals for secret solving in the past has resulted in problems (Jenafur was not a fun time), so we just don't do it anymore

fault the rotten apples that decided to start a war over credit for Jenafur, not us.

[hollow flicker]

Oh...makes sense, I applogise

[broken anchor]

❤️ Thank you all for the hard work!!!

[west creek]

(and lets be honest, people wont remember who did it after a few days. no one remembers i'm the one that found Glimr in Grizzly Hills =p)

[quaint ore]

I may have forgotten his name, but I'll never forget the guy who came out of nowhere with a giant google doc solving Jenafur despite not even playing wow.

[west creek]

his name? was PAUL.

coincidence?

[quaint ore]

The Legend of Paul...

[tawny quest]

Sean Paul

[quaint ore]

But nobody remembers I confirmed Ivory Cloud Serpent was tamable 😔 woe

[tawny quest]

Lol

Paul needs to solve #1048772345860464681

[balmy kettle]

And the maldraxxus sign

[quaint ore]

save the frog enjoyers.....

[tawny quest]

We gotta reward him gold to solve

[chilly totem]

Maybe what he's hungry for is in the ocean...

[west creek]

someone figure out the whirlpool in ringing deeps imo

[quaint ore]

Alas, Paul is on EU. I cannot give him gold.

[tawny quest]

Lol

[quaint ore]

I'm off the hook for my Void-Scarred Stormhammer bounty

[astral ridge]

hek has feeding instructions but the one on the beach indicates we might not want to read those instructions since he's got sunglasses hanging out of his mouth and I'm sure that beach umbrella and blanket are not his.

[tawny quest]

I wonder if we can use hammer on other ones like Aradan

[lusty locust]

he's the only one whos' classified as a spirit beast everyone else is elemental unfortunately

[astral ridge]

Roaming Stormrooks say Earthen

[lusty locust]

think that's a faction?

[quaint ore]

Yes, Earthen is a Faction, not a creaturetype.

[dull kernel]

elemental, dragonkin, or earthen apparently. though the dragonkin ones aren't tameable either

[gray ruin]

is too sad pets dont keep their title anymore. The tooltip used to show it. Like Humar <The Pride Lord>

Loque'Nahak <Mate of Harkoa>

[lusty locust]

What an awesome adventure. Thanks all !! :D

[lilac zealot]

It was a team effort, whether or not we individually found it, we all helped knocked 'wrong answers' off the list XD

Now to login and go get a birb or two

[dull kernel]

i have. 8 other 70+ characters to get a bird for... weeping. so much weeping

[wraith magnet]

Right now I'm trying to get the same variant for both pets, it's gonna be a minute I think

[gray ruin]

I think, you can tell which one is up and he flies by

[wraith magnet]

Oh yeah, I'm just not on the most geared character so going through the first boss takes a minute

[stray pilot]

I’m trying to decide which I want. I really don’t need four of the same color rook 😅 I’m not crazy for one of the variants

Would be awesome if we could do a quest to be able to change color like hati

Even if that is a secret too

😅

[feral lark]

If it makes you feel better, I've tried about a dozen times now and he won't spawn with the feathers I want either 😭

[stray pilot]

😭

[wraith magnet]

I love the one with a lil mohawk ❤️

[hollow flicker]

The hammer vanished from my bags, ill have to go back to get it

[plucky saddle]

I would not have thought to look out that far

[quaint ore]

Even Knife is suffering.

My mismatched duo is growing on me. I think I'll keep them.

Alrunne and Vhyre

[vital dove]

theres more then one? because mine are both the same o.o

[gray ruin]

5 differen models

[quaint ore]

There's 5 variants total, but they're fairly small. Beak/Feather Style/Tail.

[untold shard]

❤️

[untold shard]

I do not wanna know how long it took to look through all that water

[quaint ore]

All are blue.

[untold shard]

Need to run again to get my 2nd one

[vital dove]

omg I didnt even notice that. mine actually have different beaks now that you mention it

[quaint ore]

I've run this place so many times I optimized getting Kyrioss down in 4 minutes or less.

I have to WAIT to have bloodlust again for the next run.

[dull kernel]

i still have the cursed pickaxe i my inventory. i kinda wanna keep it, even though it wasn't the key

[lilac zealot]

Heck yeah, got the 2 models I wanted most 2/2

[dull kernel]

those are my favorite

[gray ruin]

I have it with my main hunter. I equiped it so it stays with her.

I also have [Accursed Keepsake] (Its like the Haunted Memento) and they both activate at the same time.

[dull kernel]

XD

[gray ruin]

u set your tracker to Undead and when the [Accursed Keepsake] activates you can see the dot following you. Though is just a ghastly entity following you. Almost see through cant target

[mental swift]

So was there a book or something found that suggested the hammer was lost out at sea or was it just "good luck finding it"?

[untold shard]

Yeah, I am curious too

[quaint ore]

Void stuff is associated with the sea. I guess the bird head on the map is looking in its direction.

Kinda felt like there could've been a little more to make the area stand out, but we have our hammer and we have our bird now.

[untold shard]

Oooooooooh

[hollow flicker]

Double tames!

[hollow flicker]

Had to be a book somehow

[gray ruin]

it was not a [picture]

[sacred dove]

iirc someone earlier said that part of the ocean seemed suspicious because it wasn't fatigued despite nothing being there

[gray ruin]

Hammer in Hand - Firm grip. ANd appeace the Birb

[sacred dove]

so its not an unusual place to search for the hammer (although we only knew about the hammer through datamining)

[gray ruin]

Whose idea was to name the Birb Birbington?

[lyric spindle]

Thanks again guys! So glad to be part of the community.

[solemn galleon]

How do we tame it lmao

[solemn galleon]

Do i need to kill first boss?

[untold shard]

Yes

You cannot continue without killing first boss

[solemn galleon]

can you do 2 at once or need to run twice

[untold shard]

Neewd to run twice

The hammer is non-consumable, so you can do it however many times you want.

Once you capture it though, it is gone from that instance until you run it again

[floral prawn]

I literally asked people if they looked for a dead dark iron dwarf in the water and people told me there wasn't. Damm

😆

GG

[thick burrow]

and that

[balmy mica]

Paul plz could you now find the corrupted ashbringer?

[quaint ore]

Paul can you find my hope for a bright future and my employment prospects while you're down there?

[earnest dome]

So just to confirm, the hammer is not in the dungeon?

[solemn galleon]

No its not

I just did it

[earnest dome]

Kk cool thanks

[solemn galleon]

W paul

[earnest dome]

So find it in the outside world then do the dungeon

[solemn galleon]

yep

[floral prawn]

#1283210270193221632 message woot

[ember kraken]

Paul shall never be forgotten

[hollow flicker]

Wait...thats possible?

[ember kraken]

im naming aradan after paul

[balmy mica]

I think Not but he could find it

[hollow flicker]

Leave it to paul

[balmy mica]

Why Nobody just swim swam swom that line 🤔🤯

[ember kraken]

well now we know whenever another secret tame happens... im looking deep in the oceans now

[quaint ore]

Imagine being a person who did swim that line but they weren't a hunter and couldn't see it...

[balmy mica]

Next time it will be the dungeon sqeuence somebody Draw😹they just Need to Look in this Channel to create new riddles

[fathom burrow]

My old nemesis thalassophobia strikes again

[quaint ore]

Preach ✊

[ember kraken]

a secret tame AND a challenge tame like Deth'tilac

[quaint fable]

holy shit you did it

[quaint ore]

I can't believe the 53 individually placed feathers in the dungeon meant nothing.... (I can believe it, actually.)

[ember kraken]

they were used as a distraction

!

[fathom burrow]

There there. Maybe they were supposed to be for the dungeon achievements.

[eternal frigate]

Guys, is this the day I wake up and I find out it’s been solved?? Holy shit 😤

[keen falcon]

i feel bad ppl chillin in dungeon for days and the clue was in some water

xdd

[eternal frigate]

…I’m embarrassed, because I was swimming all over the island, looking for something, but NOT in that spot. 🙃

[quaint ore]

Par for the course in secret hunting.

We explore a lot of leads and a lot of them aren't it.

[quaint fable]

I'm scared of water so I wasn't diving 😄

[quaint ore]

I was flying over the water looking for rocks a cave might be hidden in, but only dove in the immediate vicinity of the Rookery isle because that's the only water shallow enough to not scare me (and also full of rocks I had to search for hidden cave entrances.)

(Kosumoth had some peak hidden caves, lemme tell you.)

(that underwater shipwreck cave haunts my dreams.)

[eternal frigate]

Oh. Yeah. I wasn’t part of the hunt for that, and I remember telling myself “how the f did those guys find these things” 🤣

[quaint ore]

Just be glad this wasn't a Jenafur length secret and we didn't have people clocking literal weeks of logged in time in the dungeon trying to solve it.

[quaint fable]

aradan just flew over to me like FINALLY I've been WAITING.

[kind mist]

Cheers to ye all, peeps!

[quaint fable]

❤️

[lyric spindle]

I can’t believe the hammer was literally under our noses.

Here we were with our diagrams, delving into lore, following wooden Gryphons…

For the answer to be sitting on a rock in the ocean lmao 🤣

[quaint fable]

we knew we were overcomplicating it :p

[lyric spindle]

We really do overthink things

[cursive spindle]

I noticed that if you have him summoned as your pet when you attempt using the hammer to bring him down again, it won't work until you dismiss your current pet...
I believe it mistakes your tamed Aradan as the untamed one

[feral lark]

Hm, it shouldn't care, but I can test it out later

[quaint fable]

I had to stand on the rock and target him for the second one when i used the hammer

I had dismissed pets

[cursive spindle]

I noticed that when I was helping my grandma get all 5 variants

[ember kraken]

alright now we need pictures of the diff models of aradan

[quaint ore]

I had no problems calling an Aradan down while having an Aradan active.

[flat sun]

https://www.wowhead.com/npc=213428/aradan#models

[quaint fable]

it's going to be a grind to find the best one, I will have 100 in my stables

[quaint ore]

I had two out while helping my friend get their second one.

[lyric spindle]

There’s no way I would have gone that far out. I looked in the general vicinity of Aradan. But I guess I need to learn to widen my perspectives lol

[cursive spindle]

News post has it too

[ember kraken]

a

[cursive spindle]

☝️

For clickable model thing

[quaint fable]

good luck on your tames I am going back to bed, i only got up to tame him 😂

[cursive spindle]

lol

[keen falcon]

here are my 2 i got

do i try to go for all 5 put in my stable xD

[gray ruin]

yes

[cursive spindle]

I got 3 variants for myself & 3 for my grandma so far
Will be grabbing the rest tomorrow though as she's now in bed and I'm soon to be as well

[wild cove]

I hope the Dev makes the other colors available to match the mount and mog,

[ember kraken]

or make em earnable

like solo heroic and get a red variant or solo mythic and get a purple variant

[small creek]

Omg, I can't believe the hammer was actually involved! I was sure that was a red herring xD

Well done everyone that solved it

[south pivot]

So was there ever actually any way to find the hammer without just looking everywhere?

Or was the secret just Aradan is flying around over there go look

[flat sun]

I believe the hint was Aradan just flying mindlessly over water, so maybe they intended us to see that and just go diving

[south pivot]

Is the implication from that picture that its "pointing" to it?

[quaint ore]

the only thing we didn't draw a line from based on arbitrary "looking at" guessing.... and it was the answer.

[south pivot]

hmm.. wonder what those interactable mosswool piles are actually for then lol

[quaint ore]

Dev's actual statements on the matter

[sacred dove]

nice

[flat sun]

well, I found Aradan on beta because wowhead cached it and the cached data carries some flags that indicated that it was a Spirit Beast, so we knew it existed long before we saw where it was

it was just a matter of looking around places with stormrooks

[quaint ore]

It's effectively just dumb chance that no hunters went on a deep ocean dive looking for stuff in the right place, or if any did that they missed it (it is hard to see)

[flat sun]

it is hard to see, and also it was located on an area that for most seem fatigue zone, so most people cache sniffing may skip that area and never cache the hammer

[quaint ore]

Except for, I guess that tauren in the first screenshot. Deep ocean connoisseur.

and Paul of course.

It doesn't seem like fatigue zone to me, just a really empty area with nothing worth diving down to see.

[gray ruin]

I went looking for caves but not there lol

I think a lot of hunters did the same

[quaint ore]

Yeah I spent a lot of time in the water immediate of the rookery where there was visual interest (lots of stacked rocks)

If there was a mob or something by the hammer it would've been found by someone checking out the mob.

Notes for future Secret Devs: "If you don't want the players to find it, just chuck it in an unremarkable spot in the ocean."

[flat sun]

it would have been great that they had placed a corpse and an invisible humanoid npc of a stormrider over there so hunters tracking humanoids will see the invisible humanoid npc on the minimap and then see the corpse with the hammer

[quaint ore]

put a giant kraken on top of it to gain lots of attention but also terrify every thalassophobe in the game from ever flying over the oceans of Dorn because what if the kraken gets them.

The important part is that we now have our birb.

[wild cove]

Im keeping the hammer with me, im using it on npcs to see if anything happens

[olive cradle]

took me 2 tries to get the variant I liked 🎉

[fluid magnet]

The hell is this

why mine so smol?

[quaint ore]

baby bird

[gritty wind]

gj

[hollow flicker]

Is that a green?

[gritty wind]

it's fatelessfury not paul smh my head

[keen falcon]

No it’s just the lighting, all are blue

[hollow flicker]

We need a Paul Tribute notice....poor guys DMs got spammed i reckon lol

[tacit shard]

😂 so it was the hammer, congrats too the finder and congrats all

[balmy mica]

"he wasnt searching for it" 😄 and blizz thought we find hammer first 😄

and then we see aradan in the dung

[lyric spindle]

I still can’t get over the fact he wasn’t searching for it lol

Like, what was he even doing out there? Secret fish business? 🤣

[balmy mica]

i think people are searching everywhere for the corrupted ashbringer so i can understand it

[hollow flicker]

He had to be, the odds of finding that hammer in that part of the ocean is like a needle in a haystack!

[cursive spindle]

Some people just like to explore every inch just for the fun of it

[lyric spindle]

And the fact he done it on a hunter too! Since other classes can’t loot it. The stars definitely aligned for Paul.

[balmy mica]

other classes just cant loot it or also they dont see it?

[lyric spindle]

I know they can’t loot it. I’m not sure about visuals? I think someone earlier did say they were on a different class and saw it sitting there. But disregarded it because it wasn’t clickable.

Feels bad man aha 💀

[jovial vigil]

You handsome devils!
You did it!

[lyric spindle]

Man, the fact that the outline is almost identical to where the hammer was found…

That’s some big brain knowledge

[quaint ore]

Knife must've gotten so excited when they saw someone start drawing lines based on the orientation of in-game gryphon statues earlier.

only for their hopes to be dashed when that didn't progress to the gryphon statues on the map

[lyric spindle]

Yeah sorry…that was me sending everyone on the wild goose chase.

Telling people to follow the wooden gryphons lmao

Or should I say…Gryphon chase 😎

[worthy sun]

WTF you all did it

[tacit shard]

[worthy sun]

Gratz everyone!

Is it bad that I’m tearing up a bit lol?

[hollow pecan]

Eyyy you guys found it nice

[worthy sun]

Wake up from a bad dream, people find a spirit birb. Gratz all, it was an honor

[loud latch]

Wait, we figured it out?!

[minor flame]

Ahhhh, I'm glad the mystery has been solved! Ty everyone. Is the Hammer personal loot?

[tribal arch]

Oh man I went to sleep and missed it!

Good job!

[balmy mica]

someone found the hammer without looking for it

devs thought we found hammer before aradan lol

(hunter only loot)

[tribal arch]

Technically we did find the hammer first on wowhead

[jovial vigil]

And I am really happy that a Theory of mine actually proved somewhat right 🙂

About a Month ago I had the Idea to search for the Body of Aradans Rider in the Ocean
I even looked through the Ocean myself, but at the Wrong Location 🙂

[balmy mica]

its a joke there were no coords 😄

[tribal arch]

man you don't even know how much time swimming I did, I must have swam right past it several times 🤣

[jovial vigil]

😄

Since the Book was on the Island in the North East, I was bascially just looking there

Feels good to know that some of our work actually helped 🙂

[loud latch]

AIEEEEE. Just tamed my first one!

[hollow pecan]

is it doable with the Followers? i'm worried they'll kill it :C

[jovial vigil]

yea it is

i just got mine

[cursive spindle]

Yes, followers will not attack Aradan

[loud latch]

I just got mine in a follower dungeon. Only Follower than engaged was the Healer to toss a Hot on me.

[hollow pecan]

I love you guys.

A bond forged in secrets and pain

[tribal arch]

lmao I bet Knife was rolling on the floor at that graphic with the order of birb releasing hahaha

[hollow pecan]

I didn't expect to have to go deepsea diving

[tribal arch]

Wish I found the hammer in game not through data (although that is my job, so I guess I can take a positive on that haha)

[lyric spindle]

Omg right 🤣💀

[hollow pecan]

Knife every evening after work coming to sit at the PC screen with a bowl of popcorn going "What did the lunatics think of tonight?"

[cursive spindle]

lol

[lyric spindle]

We were all so convinced it had to be those damn birds

[tribal arch]

lmao I'm at the hammer now, many hunters are diving down repeatedly lmao

glad its in a dungeon so we can tame easily

[hollow pecan]

Does it use the hammer?

or do you need 1 hammer to tame em all LMAO

[tribal arch]

1 hammer

reuse

[loud latch]

1 Hammer.

[jovial vigil]

you keep it

[hollow pecan]

Would have been funny to have a backpack full of hammers

[cursive spindle]

Hammer is NOT consumed on use

[lyric spindle]

That would get heavy!

[jovial vigil]

first time ever a hunter has wielded a hammer?

[hollow pecan]

Which hammer do we use today? -throws 24 into the gorge-

swimming mounts usefull once this xpac, rejoice

[quaint ore]

good ol' Otto got pulled out of the mount journal.

[lyric spindle]

I went to Mourning Rise and literally told people to follow the orientation of that one wooden gryphon 🤣

It just wasn’t the right gryphon…lol

[quaint ore]

So close.

[hollow pecan]

Good ol' Brinedeep Bottom-Feeder for me

[tribal arch]

I'm mega suprised things like rarescanner and the other guides that highlight stuff automatically on your map didn't find this tbh

[quaint ore]

They don't know where it is either.

It doesn't have a popup on the minimap and wasn't cached.

[hollow pecan]

That. If rarescanner don't know it's there, it can't tell us

[lyric spindle]

That’s why it’s a secret! I’m sure it will be implemented now though haha

[hollow pecan]

Likely

Omw to get a birb

[tribal arch]

do you have to kill dungeon twice?

or reenter/

for 2x?

[quaint ore]

I want to know what everyone's naming their birds.

1 Aradan per run.

[lyric spindle]

You need to enter again

[hollow pecan]

I keep one Aradan it's normal name

[quaint ore]

but on follower dungeon it's pretty easy to get to Aradan in 6 or less minutes.

[jovial vigil]

Bluebirb

[hollow pecan]

... oh my god. Twitter.

[quaint ore]

Garrick can tank 2 packs at a time easy, 3 with CDs to burn them.

[tribal arch]

I'ma call it Prettyokaybirb

[worthy sun]

birb

[lyric spindle]

I’m going to keep my first tame as Aradan. Because that’s the OG tame.

I’m not sure about the other appearances though. I’ll 100% be getting one of each!

[quaint ore]

I like to do a three pack pull at the start, one of the groups at the base of the stairs then both groups in front of the imprisoned birds (+quartermaster) and pop bloodlust, then in Kyrioss' room just do 2 2-pack pulls, then boss.

Garrick is adequately beasty.

[hollow pecan]

Follower dungeons are such a blessing tbh

[tribal arch]

wait though

how was "mourning stormrook" a clue? for swim in the ocean

[hollow pecan]

it probably was just it's title

[lyric spindle]

Because he was mourning his rider

Who lost the hammer

[jovial vigil]

There are several Books about the Lore of Stormrooks on the Isle of Dorn and one of them was a Diary, which said that the writer saw a Stormrook returning without a rider. The Title of Aradan is "Mourning Stormrook", so I figured that the Rider died somewhere. I even looked up big parts of the Ocean myself, but on a different Location

[quaint fable]

aquaman out here 🐠

[feral lark]

I think hammer -> bird made a little more sense than bird -> hammer 😅

[jovial vigil]

thats my explanation for this

[worthy sun]

Clearly the bird likes to eat hammers 🙄

[tacit shard]

such a pretty birb 🩵

[quaint ore]

Pretty bird!

[tribal arch]

I wonder though, is there another secret? Can we get the stormling as a battle pet? :p

[quaint ore]

Buy the Epic Edition.

[worthy sun]

Pretty pretty birb

[jovial vigil]

that one of you?

[worthy sun]

I should go back to bed, my poor family is going to have to listen to me scream about a virtual bird in the morning

[jovial vigil]

xD

[cursive spindle]

lol

[hollow pecan]

I may have gotten my favourite look right off the bat?

[feral lark]

Which one is your favorite? I like the one with the really long center feather

[hollow pecan]

Mine if the one smooth with the side feathers. But the center feather is second favourite

[cursive spindle]

I’ll be helping my grandma get her last 2 Aradan variants tomorrow.
My younger brother got the one he wanted first attempt

[worthy sun]

Birds bring people together

[jovial vigil]

Damn turns to very evil bird real quick

[hollow pecan]

I just love it's beak most on variant 1

[hollow pecan]

YES that one

[tacit shard]

the one on my screenshot 😅

[hollow pecan]

long center feather and the third are close seconds. but only because center feather kind of ran into a wall with his beak.

[quaint ore]

Very distinguished beak. I couldn't decide if I wanted two sleekbeeks or two notched beaks (pictured) so I just went with one of each.

[hollow pecan]

Honestly they are all precious

[worthy sun]

Anyways, night all, enjoy your birds

[quaint fable]

I love the one with the long center feather

[quaint ore]

I suppose this means I have no excuse to not finish working on Siesbarg now...

[hollow pecan]

.... hmmm I MEAN.

[quaint fable]

distraction over :p

[hollow pecan]

have you got EVERY variant? :^)

[lyric spindle]

I love this style beak! I got this first tame!

Secret hunts are dangerous. I become way too invested and hyper fixated lol

[quaint fable]

this was the first one I joined you guys for and I was very invested xD

[lyric spindle]

Now I can finally play the game

[quaint fable]

now just fix bm hunter damage 😭

[tribal arch]

aoe damage *

[quaint fable]

yeah

[hollow pecan]

single target BM slaps. Aoe... we whimper

[lyric spindle]

You telling me you don’t just barrage everything and hope for the best?

[tribal arch]

it's clear people like finding new tames though lol, 11k posts just on this thread alone sheeeesh

[quaint fable]

I did notice I did better with ST but man aoe is painful.

[quaint ore]

It's also our first confirmed secret in a while.

[quaint fable]

void spirit beast next expansion? 👀

[hollow pecan]

the xpac isn't over yet

next patch, nerubian taming WHEEZE.

tbh i'd like just the long legged doggo things

[jovial vigil]

yea

sae´me

same

at least one

[tribal arch]

we have the pet, expansion over see you next

[lyric spindle]

Should I name one of my birds Blueberry?

[hollow pecan]

that would be so cute

[quaint fable]

I know it isn't over, I just wasn't expecting another spirit beast this expansion.

[jovial vigil]

I am

[lyric spindle]

I want all the pets! We need our stables expanded to 500

[quaint ore]

I wouldn't be surprised if we see the other colors of stormrook become available later on. Igrann in Ironforge has some fun things to say about the (purely speculative) existence of Sunrooks.

[hollow pecan]

make it 1k.

Lmao

[quaint ore]

I wouldn't hold my breath on it, but I wouldn't be surprised.

[hollow pecan]

I wanna have a Living Dex like stable. every available hunter pet ;^)

[lyric spindle]

Sunrooks with a Lightforged Draenei 💛

[hollow pecan]

I'd LOVE that Palean

[feral lark]

At one point, I wanted to get one of every pet type, and got very depressed when I ran out of stable space 😭

[quaint ore]

Every hunter's worst nightmare.

Especially a BM who likes to run visual doubles...

[lyric spindle]

I would make a Lightforged just to match the Sunrooks. And have all yellow / light themed pets

[hollow pecan]

as a BM who likes to run matching doubles, I'm glad Aradan comes in different versions

[cursive spindle]

Reason I have 25+ Hunters… so I can tame literally everything… some with dupes cause of name retention or unique sounds

[feral lark]

I'm happy the extra variants are enjoyed. It was a last minute decision to add them in hah

[lyric spindle]

They definitely are appreciated!

[cursive spindle]

Gib more

[quaint ore]

So many Aradans. Aradamn.

Ara-DAMN, DANIEL.

[lyric spindle]

Did someone name their bird either Adrian or Daniel?

[jovial vigil]

But honestly, the Devs really have put in a lot of decoys for us, havent they?

[feral lark]

Aradaniel is a strong name

[hollow pecan]

gives me Fandaniel trauma...

[jovial vigil]

3 Books about Stormrooks, the whole thing with the Mosswools, the Baby Stormrook, the Empty Spots, the Feathers lying all around the Dungeon

[hollow pecan]

and we had to go deep sea diving

[quaint ore]

I love the rooks and all their lore so much.

[feral lark]

https://tenor.com/view/but-steel-is-heavier-than-feathers-confused-lost-funny-dumb-gif-11580898

[quaint ore]

Stormrooks also feature prominently in the Ramolith book, so really it's 4 rook books.

[cursive spindle]

Hmm… wonder how it would work to make certain pets like Aradan customizable like the mounts?

[jovial vigil]

that would be awesome

[lyric spindle]

That leaves so much room for customisation

[quaint ore]

I can't even imagine the coding overhaul necessary to do that.

It'd be super cool, but also a ton of work.

[jovial vigil]

but also it would take away a big part of taming

[lyric spindle]

Imagine being able to choose the armour for our pets!

[quaint ore]

Hunter pets have a lot more moving parts than warlock pets do.

[jovial vigil]

finding the hidden Color Variations is one of the best parts imo

[lyric spindle]

Hunter tames are sooo fun!

[quaint ore]

I think the customization UI would explode trying to load all of a hunter's tames....

[quaint fable]

honestly Lytfang the Lost is actually gorgeous with the armor on

[lyric spindle]

Yes! She was my priority this expansion

[cursive spindle]

Would still be nice to have a stables big enough to tame everything and more

[quaint fable]

Mine too, I caught her on a 15 minute spawn timer for matching duo I almost screamed

[hollow pecan]

they probably don't want us hoarding poor animals LMAO

[feral lark]

What's the actual stable max these days?

[tacit shard]

Aradan has filled my last stable space 😄

[quaint fable]

205 i think

[cursive spindle]

I’m already doing this, what are you talking about? lol

[quaint ore]

heckin' big boy

[feral lark]

aradan's stance there is giving this energy

[cursive spindle]

200 in stables + 5 active slots with Hunter… so 205 total

[quaint ore]

He's ready for his daily three pounds of mosswool.

I don't have a problem.

[feral lark]

I'd say your condition is stable

[tribal arch]

Had to fix a quick mog

[quaint fable]

side note: I loved the mudskippers, they are an amazing edition to hunter pets and whoever made them is a hero

[cursive spindle]

I’d show you all 25+ of my Hunters but I’m no longer at my pc

[quaint ore]

Mudskippers have incredible aggro noises.

Absolutely incredible.

[quaint fable]

Their little run had me cracking up for ages when I first encountered one

[past ermine]

King Splash best pet

[quaint fable]

best animation award honestly

[cursive spindle]

What… the fudge… is that?!
Is that a player with a copy/mirror buff or something?

[quaint ore]

Yes, I believe it's a pet mirror used on the battle pet version of the mudskipper.

[cursive spindle]

[tacit shard]

Unfortunately I don't have room for one anymore D:

[lyric spindle]

Names chosen so far:

• Aradan
• Blueberry
• Soren
• Elysia
• Rai

[cursive spindle]

Same with my main once I get my last 2 Aradan variants tomorrow

[quaint ore]

My favorite glitch in TWW is that sometimes after a load screen one of my rooks will be very small and the other will retain its size. They go back to normal on despawn/respawn but it is very funny to see my birds deciding to be Small for a while.

[feral lark]

"don't talk to me or my son ever again"

[quaint fable]

only tiny birb

I got both center feathers 🥰 happy now

[quaint ore]

I picked out vaguely Germanic names for mine, since a lot of the stormrook NPCs we see named in game have Germanic words/names (such as Schraubendre, 'screwdriver', or Donneschnel, 'very quick' but in slightly less polite terms)

Alrunne (from Alraune, the word for the mythical herb mandrake)
Vhyre (Vier, four; the number of runs it took to get my desired appearance)

[lyric spindle]

Congratulations!!

[quaint fable]

thank you 🥰 ]

[lyric spindle]

Oh that’s so cute! Love this!

[quaint ore]

Pretty birds!

[lyric spindle]

All my names (except for Blueberry) mean storm, thunder or lightning in some form

Blueberry is my fun name lol

[quaint ore]

Blueberries are fun in general. Make good muffins.

[cursive spindle]

Welp, I’m off to sleep…
You all have fun and enjoy your Stormrooks!

[lyric spindle]

Goodnight!

[quaint fable]

Goodnight 🙂

[quaint ore]

Sweet dreams!

[hollow storm]

Maybe to make Aradan neutral or aggressive, you need the power of void? So maybe void elves and/or shadow priests?

[quaint ore]

dw about it

[quaint fable]

Paul solved it 😄

[hollow storm]

Oh wow

[pallid prism]

morning, logged in to a pin! wow

well done team and Paul

[hollow storm]

Congratulations!

[quaint ore]

This is now a tame-sharing channel.

[tacit shard]

I like special names, although I sometimes give my pets fun names like Hissy, Weavi, Mopsi, Muffin (for the baby Vorquin who isn't such a baby anymore... but I kept it xD)
and then i have names like Aldrasyn, Keldri, Barizius xD

[quaint ore]

until the mods shut us down

[lyric spindle]

Aw! But we have bird-bonded!

[keen plover]

how?

[small creek]

So what are we meant to do now this is solved? When new secret

[lyric spindle]

https://tenor.com/view/what-do-we-do-now-stan-marsh-south-park-s10e8-make-love-not-warcraft-gif-20869657

[quaint ore]

I must return to gold farming and Siesbarg/Alunira farming....

[small creek]

I hope the devs know how much we love secrets, and appreciate the work they put into creating them ❤️

Can't wait for the next one

[jovial vigil]

What do you mean? Now we can finally play the game.

[lyric spindle]

I was waiting for someone to say it lol

[jovial vigil]

😄

[lyric spindle]

Me too! I really enjoy them. But they lowkey take over my life for a short period of time.

And I’m ok with that 🤣

[quaint ore]

Aw. These birds are cuddling!

[hollow pecan]

Looking for my last appearance of Aradan.

[pallid prism]

the hammer was under water this entire time!

[hollow pecan]

the eagle beak one without the hook.

[pallid prism]

😂😂😂

[lyric spindle]

CUTE 😭🩵

Woo!

[keen plover]

so if it's not th specific model of aradan that i want i can just reset the follower dungeon correct?

[feral lark]

Yep

[keen plover]

thank you!

you're all amazing! Congrats on solving it!

[neat olive]

taming the bird or the hammer broke my party and raid frames

[quaint ore]

A small price to pay for Aradan.

[pallid prism]

thanks @sour sparrow 🙂 ❤️

[hollow lodge]

ITS SOLVED?!

[warped cosmos]

if i do anything wrong?

[quaint ore]

Are you Beast Mastery?

[warped cosmos]

yes

[quaint ore]

.... huh.

Try teleporting out and back in? (with the Teleport out of Dungeon button, not the Leave Instance Group one)

[astral ridge]

I had to smack it to make it hostile

[quaint ore]

If you're a BM hunter and have a free Call Pet slot and no active pets, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to tame him.

[hollow lodge]

I shouldnt went to bed 😭😭

[warped cosmos]

i do the dungeon again and kill the first boss, now it works

strange

[quaint ore]

Aradan just wasn't feeling it that time, I guess.

[warped cosmos]

Maybe, thanks anyway!

[hollow lodge]

What was the solution? My phone wont let me see pinged messages

[astral ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/hammer-gif-11012754

[hollow lodge]

IT WAS THE HAMMER??

The void one?

[warped cosmos]

yes

[hollow lodge]

🤯

[astral ridge]

coords in pin

[hollow lodge]

Yall actually found the hammer, thats so awesome

[astral ridge]

well 'a' Paul did

[hollow lodge]

A paul? O.o

[astral ridge]

waitingforPaul found it

[hollow lodge]

Weird, ill have to check on pc cuz still wont let me see pings

[astral ridge]

there was no ping made

[quaint ore]

People who didn't believe in the Void-Scarred Stormhammer checking the pins today:

[hollow lodge]

Paul just 200iq us

Was it only hunter seeable thing?

[astral ridge]

yeah

[quaint ore]

Only hunters can loot it. Jury is out on whether non-hunters can see it with mixed reports on that particular bit.

But only hunters can loot it.

[hollow lodge]

Cuz last thing i remember before bed was people saying that

Isee

Have yall done the group photo?

[astral ridge]

one group did

but not a massive one like the mount photos bring

[hollow lodge]

Isee isee

Where can i see that pic?

[quaint ore]

Group photo was taken too soon. Lot of hunters were still getting their second Aradan at the time, or hadn't even gotten their first yet.

It was within 15 minutes of the solution breaking.

[hollow lodge]

Ooh thats fast

[small creek]

Before I realized it was frowned upon, I was cache sniffing with my warlock in that area, and didn't detect anything!

Not sure if it's because I was a warlock, or just because it doesn't cache if you don't interact with it.

I probably flew over that damn hammer like 20 times

Can someone make that meme of Homer sitting in a bar with a bunch of Aradan’s surrounding him?

[quaint ore]

Same and i play bm 😭😭

Yay! Thank you! Come tomorrow every hunter will have one lol

[astral ridge]

I foresee an surge in upgrades to the Epic version of the subscription.
gj Knife 😂

[lyric spindle]

I’m surprised they didn’t hide a knife instead of a hammer!

[astral ridge]

my druid can't see it

[lyric spindle]

Storm riders….knife? Doesn’t quite have the same ring to it

[hollow lodge]

This was really the best way to wake upx thank all of u and paul

[warped cosmos]

only hunters, spec is irrelevant

[olive cradle]

Sorry, didn't see the ping until now. the screenshot was taken in spiral weave and the lighting is tinted slightly in there.
a fel green stormrook would be really cool though

[astral ridge]

yeah, but they had posted there was mixed reports on hunters only can see it

[lyric spindle]

Omg a mint green Stormrook! Please!

[hollow lodge]

So there 5 versions of aradan?

[quaint ore]

variant for all our siblings playing MM or Surv who can't play a Spirit Beast at all

[tawny quest]

Was Vokmar dead when we killed Kyrioss?

[quaint ore]

No.

Vokmar was dealing with the bombers downstairs.

[tawny quest]

Ok so that wasn't his stormrok then

[quaint ore]

Vokmar's stormrook is Donneschnel, and both live to visit Ironforge at the end of the campaign/Earthen unlock.

[tawny quest]

Trying to figure how Aradan lost its rider

[quaint ore]

Fighting over the ocean, presumably.

[astral ridge]

Since the bird doesn't show up in the dung until after the bombing event, this makes sense.

[hollow flicker]

You give me 5 mins and ill go see if my Paladin can see it

[quaint ore]

Ultimately Aradan's rider is an unknown and unknowable entity. They died and dropped their hammer in the ocean. Thus sayeth the fact that the hammer is in the ocean.

[astral ridge]

ok, not played in a while, how do I get my pet to not spawn in spirit walk?

[quaint ore]

Right click the ability to turn off auto-cast.

Then send it to hit something to break the stealth it has going.

[astral ridge]

tks, forgot about the putting it into combat part

[hollow flicker]

Confirming that hammer is NOT seeable by other classes

[quaint ore]

RIP to everyone trying to participate in this hunt on a non-hunter. 😔

Never Stood A Chance.

[hollow flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/rip-coffin-black-ghana-celebrating-gif-16743302

[rocky dove]

whats fucked up is i was swimming around there yesterday but was too far north. gg on the guy that found it

[quaint ore]

Praise be to Paul 🙏

[hollow flicker]

I still gotta know how he found it, The odds of him finding a hammer in that spot is like a one in a mil shot

[rocky dove]

probably swam from spot to spot

[tawny quest]

I killed Aradan and didn't drop any loot lol

[rocky dove]

i was scouring the edge instead of looking at the rocky areas, thought it was weird that they put mos out there, but i was way off

[astral ridge]

not really, if you are an ocean scouter. you search every inch, I think sfd members probably got burned out searching for the Pearl of Abyss and just not really searching.

[rocky dove]

i found the cave north of vol'dun back in the day but scouring the edges of the fatigue zone, i thought they might have done it again

[tawny quest]

I was swimming at the spot for any hidden items and i was soo close to the hammer but i never looked at the floor 10 mins later Paul found it lmao

[rocky dove]

the placement is so obtuse tho, there's nothing to suggest it would be where it is, feels kinda random in placement

[tawny quest]

There might be a note where the hammer fell

[astral ridge]

yeah, but currents do cause things to drift and if the rider died it would not be where the bird circles, but further out in the ocean.

[rocky dove]

it would 100% be where the bird circles, the water isn't that deep and there's a sheltered hollow below it

[astral ridge]

only if the rider dropped it when he fell, if the rider held onto while they drifted, then no

[tawny quest]

If u go to the opposite entrance near Kyrioss is, it makes alot of sense the hammer was tossed from that bridge

[rocky dove]

except earthen are solid stone so they wouldn't drift, they'd sink

[astral ridge]

true

[tawny quest]

Go there and u see it was tossed

[astral ridge]

would be funny if while we have the pet out we have an npc turn hostile to us cause it's their bird.

[lyric sphinx]

I threw a ss of the hammer location on its page on wowhead to help people spot it on the ground, whenever it gets approved 🫡

[astral ridge]

Knife should make that happen and the npc drops some tomes that allow us to color change the bird

or give it armor

[lyric sphinx]

i want a chameleon glyph type effect for hunter pets. let one of them be a random skin every time I summon it

[balmy mica]

you have this with one of your stable pets while using alpha pet?

[tribal arch]

can get glyph of dire stable too that summons pets randomly from stable, but you can't really see em in fight

[lyric sphinx]

Yeah I meant more like the battle pets that used to be a different color every time you called them

[lyric spindle]

You’re so right. This is why the armoured Stormrooks left the building this way. I was always wondering what was up with that. A clue pointing towards the hammer!

So many clues and foreshadowing now I look back on our hunt lol

The baby Gryphon though…where did that come into this?

Was the baby a clue or just something to throw us off?

[balmy kettle]

thats the fun part, we'll never know how much was intended hints and how much was just us

[lyric spindle]

So true! Sometimes it’s good to leave a little mystery up to the imagination!

[balmy kettle]

especially when the actual solution is accidently stumbled upon like this one was

[lyric spindle]

It’s fun seeing how many clues and theories we developed. Some of which were most definitely not intended lol

Can’t believe I literally went to Throne of the Four winds looking for clues.

That’s the equivalent to driving an hour to go to McDonald’s but someone tells you there was one only 5 minutes away lmao

[balmy kettle]

I just love how many of us kept saying "we werent meant to find the hammer through its own wowhead page dont try to find it with the wowhead page" and when it was found people went "wow all the hammer naysayers shook" as if we thought it didnt exist

[brisk lion]

was this solved?

[brave rivet]

Our wild ideas just fuel the next intricate secret is all

[balmy kettle]

yup go swimmin, coords are in the pins/guide now

[lyric spindle]

Next secret…I will literally overturn every single rock in Azeroth lol

[astral ridge]

who knows, that baby might have something later, but Knife did say they expected the hammer to be found first and

"I've always searched the oceans to see what silly stuff or random caves were placed 😂"

[balmy kettle]

at the very least we go back to basic secretfinding techniques like swim everywhere

someone was at least trying griftah amulets so we werent far off

[lyric spindle]

Imagine if Paul didn’t find the hammer. We would still be here trying to free those damn Rooks

[balmy kettle]

If it went on another month or so we'd end up just making a concise list of things to re-attempt on a BM hunter specifically for confirmation sake and hopefully "look in the ocean" wouldnt have been to far on the list

[lyric spindle]

I want to see that Stormrook grown up in a future expansion

[astral ridge]

yes, but I also want to stumble up on a random npc and if I have the pet out they turn hostile, cause they didn't die and that's their bird

[lyric spindle]

But the rider is dead…or is he 👀

Next WoW expansion confirmed:

World of Warcraft: Gimme my Birb

[balmy kettle]

the rider was killed because they knew how to solve Ancient Menders

[lyric spindle]

I wish we got a blue post confirmation for every secret that was real lol

[astral ridge]

all we know is some rider lost their hammer and well 'finders keepers' and now we have their bird.

[balmy kettle]

there'd be a lot of desperate replies "hey i think yall forgot to mention the one I've worked on for years"

[lyric spindle]

He’ll be back…will probably pull a Deathwing on us

[lyric spindle]

LMAO 🤣

[astral ridge]

end game boss confirmed

[lyric spindle]

But only hunters can kill this boss

[astral ridge]

nah, can't summon the boss without a hunter in group

[lyric spindle]

Oh true! That’s a good one!

[astral ridge]

a hunter with the pet, so BM hunter

[lyric spindle]

Use Aradan and the hammer to summon him. Why does that make me sad?

[astral ridge]

and the pet has to be in tank mode

pet has to keep aggro of boss

[tawny quest]

.

[quaint ore]

Flashbacks to Pearl of the Abyss being confirmed in a hot fix note and then months later a dev on twitter going “ah nah that isn’t in game no idea why there was a mention of it it’s not real”

[gray ruin]

gasp!

[astral ridge]

yeah, birds were trying to tell us where to look, but we got distracted cause of well, BABY birb

[lyric spindle]

That’s why the armoured ones were leaving from the back. It suddenly all makes sense lol

And I bet if we check…all the rooks inside the dungeon were probably also facing the same direction of the hammer

[tired hedge]

thanks for solving blue bird

[gray ruin]

wth no fatigue

[lyric spindle]

Even that far out? Keep going lol

[gray ruin]

And look what I found: More secrets out here?

hmm, Knife did make a comment about "...silly stuff or random caves..."
Find the cave.

[lyric spindle]

We finish with one secret and we are already begging for the next lol

[astral ridge]

hey, you never know... his blue post might have been to stimulate the community to start searching the ocean

[gray ruin]

I see, the territory is bigger than we thought. Look what happens when I spand the map and hover the pointer over Khaz ALgar:

[lyric spindle]

Ah! That makes sense now. I would have never gone that far out because usually the dark edges indicate the fatigue border

[quaint fable]

Us all thinking it was complicated multiple steps and really it was raise hammer to sky

[stray pilot]

Lol anything with ‘dan’ in it I make a play on because my name is Danielle and my bf name is Daniel so it’s funny to see it written by someone who isn’t me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[tribal arch]

found a new name btw kek

scarred me the amount of time I spent looking for something so simple

[quaint fable]

I need crime names for mine. My character is Phelonie (Felony) and I usually call my pets arson and riot but I need something better

the amount of times I swam past it

TaxEvasion is great but what would the second one be?! What goes with tax evasion?

money laundering usually

That was my guess but it’d probably be too long

What were they thinking when they put cloudrooks (air) under Feahermane and Stormrooks (thunder) as Elementals lol

[astral ridge]

easy, can't tame Elementals, so that leaves just Aradan, and since he looks like the epic edition mount, more upgrades to epic edition

[gray ruin]

Make sense...Mo-money, mo-money.

[tribal arch]

too many birbs?

[shut shuttle]

not enough

[tribal arch]

when you tame birb

[glacial moss]

finally xD

but need all 5 types :3

it was a fun week*? of trying to figure it out - good job to those who figured it out

[autumn geode]

Congrats on the find, everyone! Good job!!

[lilac phoenix]

Well done on the find everyone! 😄

[raw violet]

Hmmm - back to no discord on phone and listening to npr on lunch lol - /wave c y’all on the flip side (and not having to correct auto type)

[keen falcon]

soon we'll be archived

[astral ridge]

at least I can ride it once
|| through the slipstream quest ||

[balmy kettle]

better to be solved and archived than sit stagnant with no reliable leads or confirmation we're even on a hunt

[keen falcon]

its cool the quest puts you on your mount if you bought epic edition i was like "why did mine turn purple"

[astral ridge]

I didn't buy the epic edition. actually I wasn't even gonna play this expansion and haven't hardly played WoW since May of last year. I only logged in to play the pre-patch in case I did decide to play and to help out someone get an expensive mount. So far, I've been impressed with the expansion.

[keen falcon]

agred!

[keen plover]

Behold, my Aradan! Only pet I didn't rename!

[brittle tree]

tamed one as well! thanks everyone 😄

[olive harbor]

So how many of us feel stupid that it was easier than we thought?

i feel like we should be able rid Aradan as well

[sacred dove]

a lot of us were blindly groping around the isle of dorn for the void hammer so we were on the right track at least

or at least one of the dozens of tracks we were on was right

[olive harbor]

yeah i know, i flew around as well for it but noone found it so thought maybe not and was trying some of the more out there ideas

[sacred dove]

i went around all the relevant areas flaring everything but never thought to check the ocean

[balmy mica]

If the Hammer could have been Seen by every Class it were Found earlier before we start Searching 😆

[sacred dove]

probably

[olive harbor]

anyone killed aradan and seen what it drops?

[astral ridge]

yeah, someone said he drops nothing

[open night]

Aradan [SOLVED]

[balmy mica]

Never thought about things Like that 😆

[hollow lodge]

Thank yall

[ember kraken]

none shall forget The Legendary Paul, Lord of the Stormrooks

[keen falcon]

this boy needs to change form cause i keep getting the same 2

grrr

[worn ingot]

Does Kyrioss need to be defeated to get to Aradan?

[gray ruin]

Yes

[worn ingot]

thx

[cursive spindle]

Just got all 5 variants

[heavy stream]

Hm, is there a way to reset the dungeon to show a different variant once Kyross is killed?

I got the crow beak variant several times in a row

[cursive spindle]

It's entirely random which variant spawns... 1 could literally spawn 20+ times in a row

[untold shard]

It's on tiktok now 😅

[hollow flicker]

Mannnn I'm just happy with my double tame

[steep rapids]

I kinda want the minty looking one, but I got a good one already, so that's plenty.

[quaint fable]

i named mine TaxEvasion and GrandTheft ❤️

[quaint ore]

Zarein: I want a new dad. A better dad. A dad who will take me to see the world.

[astral ridge]

Triplets

[gray ruin]

I don’t know if you noticed, but the Druid healing in the Follower Dungeon cheers you went you tame Aradan.

[heavy stream]

That's cute

Sickle beak seems to be the lowest spawn, while crow beak seems to be the highest.

Finally, found sickle beak! Nice.

[cursive spindle]

Took me ages to find this one, was literally the last one both my Grandma & I got

[tribal arch]

purple tame

void birb

[heavy stream]

I'm surprised they don't have a wing attack animation tbh

[tribal arch]

nice animations when they chilling though and spread wings

[heavy stream]

Yeah it's cool

I'd like to see a move where they rear back and smack with both wings

[astral ridge]

how did you make it purple?

[tribal arch]

go stand on the bridge in raid lol

turns everything purple

[raw violet]

lol - removing pins from all over my map :D

[dull kernel]

Chester. After my dead best friend.

(if only i could find a guild this active horde side that didn't have race restrictions due to rp themes...)

[raw violet]

i named my birb Spoon , and its cloudrook buddy is Polly :D

they should make a quest that involves releasing the rook youngling now so everyone can get a battlepet lol - maybe next seaso -

[quaint ore]

They don't seem to mind Wakyn as a substitute baby until Epic Edition goes on sale and I grab myself a Squally.

[worthy sun]

They are very good parents, don’t care what their child looks like, they love them

[tardy quiver]

no one hear anybody out

[small crest]

Aight, so hear me out...
||What would a storm gryphon taste like if it was cooked, and would the rump be good eating in the culinary sense?||

[cursive spindle]

[dull kernel]

they drop basically beef as an item

at least that's what i saw listed somewhere

[astral ridge]

but is the beef they drop from prey they ate or.....

and where is the beef coming from, I've seen no cows here on the island

[dull kernel]

it's not actually beef. we've just eaten so many weird things that it's normal in comparison.

[hollow flicker]

Bruh, how sadist are you?

[lyric spindle]

So turns out that one wooden Gryphon at Mourning Rise was trying to tell us the answer all along. We had the right idea to follow it. We just didn't know where or how far lol

[hollow flicker]

Man we are clueless!

[lyric spindle]

"Just keep going until you hit something I guess."

[tired hedge]

release all the storm rooks on the way down isnt needed though 😛

atleast i didnt do that and got a tame in

[untold shard]

Yeah... Don't know why she is telling people to do that tbh 😅

[glacial moss]

Gotta save the birdies xD

[small creek]

So I still wonder how that other hunter got this so early, did they just randomly stumble across the hammer somehow? Did they know what they were looking for.

We need an ama with that hunter!!

[small creek]

I wonder where the others are pointing then...? We must follow them all!

[balmy kettle]

chances are they just stumbled onto it

[lyric spindle]

They were on secret fish business

[lyric spindle]

Maybe future secrets…who knows? 😏

[compact sonnet]

Like saying Frost Mage is mobile cause they can cast ice lance while moving

[tribal arch]

1. MM is mobile and 2. Why are you posting this here?

[compact sonnet]

God damn it, I was in general

[tribal arch]

🤣

[compact sonnet]

Really tired of discord doing that shit. Also, no it isn't 😛

Go do a raid without touching aimed shot and get back to me with your parses. ❤️

Also, can you tame aradan as SV/MM like other exotics, and just not use it?

[tribal arch]

Don't be rude 😁

[quaint fable]

Why are mine absolutely massive or do they appear smaller to other people?

[small creek]

Maybe they're using https://www.wowhead.com/item=43350/glyph-of-lesser-proportion?

[tight hill]

Melee with spirit beast

Was that a thing in the past?

[fathom brook]

Other people’s pets are also usually smaller than yours. I was using Nah’qi and it was almost taller than my character but other people’s Nah’qi was half my size

[quaint fable]

That makes more sense I never noticed before, I know they did it with warlocks and shamans but I never noticed hunters. I wanted to use the glyph but can’t put it in a stable slot 😭 thank you!!

[fathom brook]

Np!

[keen falcon]

Happens with battle pets too
